David Tepper has owned the Carolina Panthers for 3 seasons. His detractors will tell you he has already developed a reputation as a very impatient owner.
Carolina, with rookie Bryce Young (Alabama) at QB, has not won much this season, and on Monday, Tepper decided to part company with 1st year head coach Frank Reich, who was bounced by Indianapolis after last season, and assistants Duce Staley & Josh McCown. Problem is, Carolina's 1st round pick in 2024 belongs to the Chicago Bears via a trade, so Carolina won't have the same kind of luxury come April.
=======================================
Warner Bros Discovery CEO David Zaslav has done some stupid things in the year plus he's been in charge. Cartoon & comic book fans can share the horror stories.
For his latest strange trick, Zaslav now thinks that TNT NBA analyst and Subway shill Charles Barkley is fit to be a primetime host on CNN. Zaslav must think Barkley is on a par with ex-footballers Nate Burleson (CBS) and Michael Strahan (ABC, Fox). I give them six months before they make another change when the ratings tank.

The WWE is reopening its nursery, and so is All Elite Wrestling.
Earlier this month, Smackdown color analyst Corey Graves (Matt Polinsky) & wife Carmella (Leah Van Dale-Polinsky) welcomed their first child. 2 1/2 weeks later, Alexa Bliss (Lexi Kaufman-Cabrera) and her musician husband, Ryan Cabrera, celebrated the birth of their first, 24 hours after AEW's Sammy Guevara & Tay Melo did the same.
Alexa Bliss.
Of the three first time moms, I suspect that due to injuries, Carmella may be the last one to return to the ring, unless those injuries aren't severe enough to keep her out of January's Royal Rumble in Tampa Bay. Figuring Bliss will be there. Melo could be back in AEW sometime around that same time, depending on recovery time. Congratulations to all three couples.
==============================================
After 8 seasons, the last couple plagued with injuries, pitcher Luis Severino is moving from the Bronx to Flushing.
Reports are that Severino will sign a 1 year deal with the Mets to help bolster a starting rotation that took a major hit after co-aces Justin Verlander & Max Scherzer were traded at the deadline.
============================================
Seeing headlines reporting that Jets QB Aaron Rodgers has been cleared to return to practice. Why bother? The Jests won't make the playoffs. Better to remain healthy and start anew next year. Just sayin'.
